    If you take the most literal interpretations of the typical Christian Bible to the kinds of extremes these kinds of people want to, then they can make the argument that every single time people have sex that doesn’t result in a successful childbirth, it’s murder.

    There’s plenty of verses around stuff like “seed” that can be super abused and removed from context.

        In context, the Bible explicitly gives instructions for an abortion.

        Specifically for when the woman has “been unfaithful,” or the man merely suspects it, much less a rape victim or any of a dozen other factors.

        It also clearly defined life as beginning with the first breath.

        The fundamentalists are just lying about this. As always.
